Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas (besides having the flu!!). Braxton got way too spoiled and loved every minute of it. He told me this morning he wants presents. I tried to explain we only have presents on birthdays and Christmas. I also got way too spoiled thanks to Brandon and the awesome camera I got! Thanks Honey!

Braxton got a jumpolene/ball pit from Santa that he absolutely loves. I'm hoping it will help contain some of his energy this winter, so far we're having lots of fun in it! We need a few more balls, but it's fun anyway.

Braxton absolutely loves horses, his dad spoiled him and got him a stick horse and a stuffed horse and he loves them both. He carries them around all day it's so cute!



David and Braxton in their matching pajama's- Thanks Grandma Cooper, he loves them!

Growing up!

Playing catch with mom. My little boy is getting so big! I just love him so much!

Braxton wasn't too sure about snow at first.

Walking on Grandpa's back. This is Braxton's idea of a back rub.

Chilling with Grandma!

Helping the boys hang lights on the house.
Getting a haircut. Braxton hates getting his hair cut. He saw that Tanner was going to get his though, so he decided to try it out himself.

Happy Halloween

Braxton was a lion this year for Halloween. He's not quite sure about this holiday yet. He had a hard time keeping his costume on and he just did not understand why everyone was offering him a huge bowl of candy?! He was cute though, and we had lots of fun. Hope everyone else had a great day as well!

Carving Braxton's Pumpkin

You will have to look at these in reverse order from finished product to beginning. Braxton loved helping clean his pumpkin out for about the first 20 minutes then he was finished. He even had to stop for a little break in the middle and have a snack. He was pretty cute! He especially loved when we lit the pumpkin up, however he would not sit still for me to get a picture of him with it (thus the picture where he's dashing out). Oh well, at least I got the pumpkin carved.



His little snack break.

He kept dropping the spoon in the bottom of the pumpkin and then he'd laugh and say "uh oh" like it was the first time he'd done it. Very funny!!

Nick and Kolby

My brother Kolby and my cousin Nick recently returned from serving missions. I'm including a couple of pictures of both of them for my family who lives far away and hasn't been able to see them yet! They both look great and we are so proud of both of them!

The Pumpkin Patch

We got family pictures this last weekend and then went out to eat, it was lots of fun!
Braxton got to go to the pumpkin patch with Tate and McKenley. He loved all the pumpkins, especially the smaller ones. Here he's just lounging in the wagon, it's hard work picking out pumpkins!
Cute kids just getting a ride from Tate.
He was all ready to go just waiting for the rest of us.
